The app has an amazing experience so far, because it feels like I'm just using Apollo, heaps of baked in features that no other app has so far. It's a web app so installation is pretty forward. Much love to the Devs!

(Side note: please change the name to something better. I recommend the name Voyager to keep up with the theme)

Installation:

https://wefwef.app/settings/install

WefWef's community page: c/wefwef

https://lemmy.world/c/wefwef

Courtesy of KillaBeez@lemmy.world for telling us about it.

Update:

Having issues? It's to do with rate limitations, this should be resolved soon but right now you can Use:

https://w.opnxng.com/settings/install

Here's the Dev's notes on that:

w.opnxng.com - wefwef hosted by Opnxng in Singapore.

Note: Community deployments are NOT maintained by the wefwef team. They may not be synced with wefwef's source code. Please do your own research about the host servers before using them.

hi! wefwef dev here.

https://wefwef.app is getting rate limited by lemmy.world. The growth in traffic over the last 24 hours has been incredible.

That's why you're probably getting error messages. Hang in there, we're working it out. :-)

In the meantime, self host (it's just a simple docker container!) or use a community deployment (if you trust the administrator).

hi! lemmyworld admin here.

If I did it right, wefwef.app should no longer be rate-limited. Please let me know if it worked.

[–] aeharding@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

You rock! 🤘

[–] krische@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

I've noticed a lot fewer errors now. Thank you

[–] Demigod787@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

Like a charm!

feels weird having an iOS centric UI on android but I'm loving it so far

[–] spaceduck@lemmy.world 10 points 1 year ago (5 children)

On Android as well, this feels better than a lot of native apps. I really missed Apollo after switching to Android and this project makes me happy.

I like Memmy, but Wefwef is great too!

Whoa. I’ve been using Memmy lately but this one is like a carbon copy of Apollo. Will there be the feature to see saved posts soon?

[–] JesusTheCarpenter@lemmy.world 13 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I agree with all the things you said. Including changing this weird name.

How did they nail the Apollo look and feel in a web app? Incredible. Been on the Mlem testflight but this is just soooo familiar. I hope this gets an official app on the app store!

It’s absolutely amazing. The thing I’m missing the most though is to be able to customize gestures/swiping like on Apollo. I’m so used to upvoting/downvoting by swiping left, and going back one page by swiping right, from wherever I swipe (on Apollo I only reply by long pressing a comment).

This is great, it is like Apollo reborn!

[–] g0zer@lemmy.world 7 points 1 year ago (4 children)

6+ year Apollo user here and I tried a bunch of apps prior to this one that just didn’t quite have the UI and features I was looking for. If you used Apollo, you’ll feel 100% at home on WefWef; it’s almost identical.

Weird name but it’s really an amazing app, it was the final thing to click and made lemmy a full Reddit replacement for me.

Edit title: Best Lemmy app*

[–] adambowles@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago (2 children)

You can edit titles on Lemmy 👍

[–] Demigod787@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago

Done. Still Reddit mentality.

Wow nice! I just replaced the Apollo icon on my Home Screen with this.

Looks great and feels like Apollo!

[–] AllYourSmurf@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago (2 children)

So when I login to an instance, am I sending my credentials through the wefwef.app server? Because that makes me nervous.

I nearly cried when I saw the interface. I love the Squabbles community, but wefwef will make me a Lemmy user

[–] fartdumpster420@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago

i'm writing this from the app. it looks and feels like apollo, so this is amazing. i really look forward to further development!

[–] Itshaysus@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago

Apollo just died, deleted app and now I’m here. Goodbye Reddit

[–] adsmatic@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago

Best web app I’ve ever seen. Thank you!

[–] Aethon@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago (4 children)

Just saved this to my home screen, am I right in saying that it's just a webapp and not a full blown app? Seems to work fine so far!

Very nice. Thanks for the call-out!

[–] gornar@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago (2 children)

This is so fantastic, it really does have that Apollo feel. I had my doubts with it being a webapp, but it's so comfortable and familiar, I've switched to it....despite the name, heh

Doesn't really work that well for me, doesn't show the icon on the app button, can't change appearance in settings Using it through Firefox, not sure if that's the problem

This is astoundingly good. Like, I didn't know webapps could be this nice. It's kind of amazing.

I don't have an "add to home screen" like the instructions say to do.

Absolutely the closest thing to Apollo. Hoping all the customizations Apollo had come next!

[–] Gingerlegs@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

Holy shit, THANK YOU!!

[–] Yetidpm@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

It’s so weird how eerily similar it is to Apollo haha, but I’m more than happy to use it. I’m using Memmy at the moment, first day using Lemmy!

[–] Zadkine@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I love it! The Lemmy web interface was acting a bit wonky at times, this is a great improvement.

I agree, I just wish it ran smoother and was more reliable. I'm experiencing a lot of "failed to load", "failed to upvote", and "failed to comment". A community you can't engage with is no community at all.

Swipe a little to the right to vote up.

Swipe a lot to the right to vote down.

Swipe to the left to delete.

Just stumbled upon this app a couple of hours ago and….. holy shit it’s just like Apollo! Excellent stuff.

[–] btmoo@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

omg it's Apollo! (without keyboard shortcuts)

[–] Demigod787@lemmy.world 7 points 1 year ago

TIL Apollo had keyboard shortcuts
